The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4688

The white policeman didn’t understand Chinese, but he could grasp some of the English mixed in with Ma Lan’s words.

Ma Lan shocked him when she claimed he was her mother. Angered, he pressed down harder with his knee, putting more weight on her.

Ma Lan felt a sharp pain and struggled to breathe under the pressure. Suddenly, there was a loud crack, and she realized the policeman had broken one of her ribs!

In agony, Ma Lan cried out, “My rib is broken! Please help me, I’m in so much pain!” She looked at the policewoman and exclaimed, “Stop him! He’s going to crush me! Is this how you treat first-class passengers?!”

The policewoman replied coldly, “This is the first time I’ve encountered a drug dealer like you. Just because you have a first-class ticket doesn’t mean you’re above the law!”

Ma Lan was taken aback and asked, “What do you mean, drug dealer?!”

The policewoman sneered, “Stop pretending. Our customs officers found over 180 ounces of new synthetic drugs, more than 5,000 grams, in one of your checked bags. That’s enough to put you in jail here!”

“What?!” Ma Lan was terrified and protested, “This can’t be true! I’m a law-abiding citizen! There’s no contraband in my suitcase! I’ve never even seen anything like that!”

As she spoke, a thought of Zong Qiuhua flashed through her mind, and she felt a wave of realization hit her hard.

Ma Lan suddenly realized the trap she had fallen into. In a panic, she shouted, “I was wronged! I was framed! It was that jerk, Zong Qiuhua, who lied to me. You have to investigate this and prove my innocence!”

At that moment, it hit her just how deep of a scam she was in. She remembered packing her own luggage and not knowing what was inside. She hadn’t even opened it at all, so there was no way there could be anything illegal in it.

The police had said that contraband was found in one of her two checked suitcases. That could only mean it was the suitcase Zong Qiuhua had asked her to bring back to Hong Kong Island!

As she thought about this, Ma Lan realized that Zong Qiuhua wasn’t a successful businesswoman or a relative of a beverage king. She was a complete fraud! Zong Qiuhua had tricked her into helping smuggle contraband out of the country.

To make matters worse, the police had mentioned that over 5,000 grams of contraband were found. If this were in China, it could lead to a death sentence.

Filled with regret and fear, Ma Lan cried to the female police officer, “Officer, I was really deceived! This woman, Zong Qiuhua, asked me to carry her suitcase to Hong Kong Island. I had no idea what was inside! I’m innocent! You have to help me!”

The policewoman simply scoffed and replied, “What did she promise you that made you willing to carry someone else’s luggage across borders?”
